Anthropologist and research fellow at CRIA-IUL, Emília Margarida Marques frames her research by questions on domination, consent and hierarchy, symbolic and material inequality, and class. She has carried out ethnographic and historical research on industrial work, uses of technology and materiality in work contexts, the work/consumption nexus and, more recently, the uses of non-fiction film in the Portuguese 20th century. She has also addressed research questions on social memory and local history, as well as in the history of the Portuguese glass industry and glassworkers. She taught at the Department of Anthropology, FCSH-UNL. She is the author of “Os Operários e as Suas Máquinas: Usos Sociais da Técnica no Trabalho Vidreiro” (2009, Lisboa, Gulbenkian/FCT).
